Excellent stuff, I love seeing these cars on track, bet that was fun.

Did you take your B7 on track, id so how do both compare in your eyes?

On a different note, I really must get up to Blyton park, another circuit on the to do list.
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar

I prefer the B8 all the way

Nothing beats that gear box and blip noise on change down

I had my B7 on cadwell once and intend to put the B8 on there
